Next Level Physicians: Thriving Outside the Box

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur Mark Seither and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about how to protect your income and minimize tax burden as an entrepreneur.

Highlights from the conversation:

Mark Seither: Owner of Kingsview Partners. Host of Health Preservation Podcast.

How to make money?

● One thing we look at like especially on the real estate side is stop, look around, and ask about what’s going on. Timing is key, and planning is key. Knowing what to do and how to do it can be the difference between making little or big money.

● Create multiple streams of income.

How to save money?

● Take time to educate yourself financially. When you understand what's important to you, then you know the questions to ask.

● If you have pre tax money, and not in a high tax bracket, paying as much taxes as possible while in a low tax bracket and translate into a huge amount of money saved.

● Preserve wealth as you build it, especially in passive investment.

● Check the movement of your money. Map where it should go, when, and in which vehicle.

Don’t trust money strategists who:

● Stay things like “ I'm going to beat the market investment-wise, and that's why you should choose me.”

● Doesn’t educate you and just tells you that everything is going to be ok.

● Isn’t proactive and actively wants to have meetings with you. Look for someone who gives you a heads up when you have issues coming.

This week next level entrepreneur and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about

Highlights from the conversation:

Karen Graves

● Founder of karengravescoaching.com

● Started as a pharmaceutical sales rep, and after successful first years and promotions, she ended up in the sales training department as a manager. After the recession, she pursued a coaching certification and began her career as a coach.

Get into the proper mindset and sell your product/service

● Make peace with the fact that you are selling. Yes, you are going to present a product. yes, you are going to ask for someone's money. But there’s nothing wrong with that, because you are helping them.

● Sales is actually about helping someone make a decision. The person you are talking to has a problem that needs solving, and you may have a solution in the product or service you are selling. You are serving someone when you sell, and you are doing a disservice when you don’t.

● As a doctor, you also sell. No matter your specialty, you ultimately sell medicine, you sell lifestyle changes, you sell a change of environment... And you don't feel guilty for them because you know it’s good for the patient. Take that same approach to sales.

● Be clear of the value of what you are selling. Take in consideration the product or service itself of course, but also the long-term value they provide. For example: A burnout coach helping you organize your life. Of course, someone pays to stop getting burnout. But what about the long-term value? Reconnecting with their children, saving their marriage, loving their career again. Immediate value and long-term value: Help your prospective buyers connect the dots between the two.

● Be human, connect with your buyers, let them relate to you. Nobody will listen to a robot.

Getting people to say yes

● Change your pricing. You can set it up and then lower it. (discount!)

● Watch you speech. Are you communicating properly? Are your clients actually understanding you? Study the best way to make this happen.

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level Doc Carmen Landrau and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about being a thought leader.

Highlights from the conversation:

Dr. Landrau

● Cardiologist from Houston, Texas. Born in Puerto Rico

● Opened her solo cardiology practice 10 years ago

● Keynote speaker on women's empowerment and leadership. Speaker coach

Current situation of speakers

● Speakers were used to traveling, but now due to COVID a lot of new opportunities have opened up online. Virtual events, online coaching… A lot happens when recording and behind the scenes. We are still learning as we go.

MC skills

● An MC makes or breaks an event. The MC is the one on the spotlight, the one who sets the tone and pace of the event, and works hand in hand with the event planner. If there are sales in the event, the MC can negotiate getting a percentage.

What is considered a thought leader?

● Not necessarily a big following, but someone who has a voice. Someone who expresses opinions that a number of people identify or leads people to think in a different way. A lot of thought leaders don’t realize they are thought leaders.

● A thought leader starts by opening people’s eyes. First, in a one-on-one conversation, then when two people are present, then a group, and then an audience. It’s a process. Thought leaders don’t grow up thinking that they want to be thought leaders, but they do want to change the world by making an impact.

● Thought leaders are not in the spotlight necessarily because they like the attention, but because they carry the huge responsibility of transmitting an important message.

Thing to consider if you want to be a thought leader:

● What’s your purpose? Have it clear.

● Always keep in mind that your words have an impact, and you can influence a lot of people.

● Be responsible with your message and your mission.

● Stop for a minute and think of the best way you can transmit your message, so one gets confused.

● Believe that you are heard and that you are able to make a change.

● There's not one straight path. Know your weaknesses and work on them, and potentiate your abilities.

● You can always change your direction and advocate for something else.

● You don’t necessarily have to be in front of a big audience. You can have a blog, podcast, website, do videos, etc.

● Do what you are comfortable with, but don’t be afraid to step a bit of your comfort zone from time to time.

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur Dr. Nilong Vyas and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about how she turned her passion for helping parents navigate sleep problems with their children into a thriving business.

Highlights from the conversation:

Dr. Nilong Vyas

● Owner of Sleepless in NOLA. General pediatrician.

● With a family to take care of, trying to achieve work-life balance proved difficult, so she started considering other options but maintaining patient interaction.

● She got interested specifically about sleep when her kids started having problems. Reaching out to specialists, friends, and even online, she realized there was a lot of confusion and contradictory information. After scientific research mixed with her pediatric formation and tests, she found some success in her methods. Sharing her experience with multiple patients influenced her decision to dedicate her career mainly to sleep.

From Physician to Entrepreneur

● Dr. Clairborne speaks on overcoming impostor syndrome: Every time she releases a new product or program, she acknowledges the impact and difference she makes with all she shares. She knows she is good at something, and little by little the fear of not being enough disappears.

● In order to achieve work-life balance it is important to establish both deadlines and limits. Fix a date and make sure you work in order to make it work. But beware! As entrepreneurs, we have the inner drive to always do more and achieve more. That’s now always good. It’s also great to know when it is enough, and not like “settling”, but to be OK of where you are in the process.

● Go step by step. First make sure you are stable and with everything determined, only after that you are ready to bring on a team member that can take on the things that you can do, but don’t have time to do anymore. After this, you will be able to produce more and more, and add more people to your team. This is called scaling.

Sleep

● With kids, it’s important to establish a pattern. Naps and sleep during night should be part of a routine. If parents give up, this can disrupt the child’s sleep cycle.

● A significant amount of sleep issues come from parents being the child's crutch. Anything that they do before the baby goes to sleep (rocking, bouncing, singing, etc.) can turn into dependency. It’s important to slowly work a way away from teaching the child to fall asleep only after a specific action.

● It’s important to establish times and have everyone informed and on board. Both parents, grandparents, kids, nannies, visits...

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur and physician Tom Davis and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about how to keep moving forward as physicians during these treacherous times.

Highlights from the conversation:

Dr. Tom Davis

● Co-Founder of Clinicians Career Cooperative: A place to network and share experiences with other physicians in any stage of their career.

● Mentor and Creator of telemedicine practices

The Healthcare System and the Impact of COVID-19: Moving Forward

● Setbacks like being laid off, separated , or getting less hours are not accidents. They are all side effects from the toxic system in which medicine takes place. Management doesn’t care about doctors, only about ways of making money and reducing costs.

● The system is set up in a way that doctors don’t have time to think, participate, or use their creativity from anything else but their clinical tasks. Doctors are put into a sort of hamster wheel without time or space to breath or think on their own. The worst part is that no one is going to come and help out. That’s why doctors should push through and search their ways as consultants, coaches, and pursuing their practices - or at the very least, be part of a network of support.

● Unprecedented times can give unprecedented opportunities. COVID-19 has created an earthquake that knocked out the foundations of the healthcare system and how hospitals work, revealing to doctors that it may not be worth it after all.

● It’s now time to look for opportunities:

- As primary care physicians, we are deadwood. That’s actually good because most won’t jump off the faulty system unless they are forced to.

- Another opportunity is the use of technology to leverage expertise. We're looking at artificial intelligence, data sharing, rapid interconnection.

- The third opportunity comes with the old argument against universal healthcare: cost. That’s clearly out of the window. Health insurers and startups are looking for new models to pay, and that will eventually translate into legislation.

● Exercise your expertise in different ways: Mentoring, coaching, a podcast, private practice, blog, books, videos, courses. There’s a whole new generation of doctors hungry for knowledge. The educational system is now diverse and no longer belong to just big entities.

● These are times to network as well. Jump into blogs and connect with like-minded experts, share your experiences, teach others.

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level physician entrepreneur Peter Kim and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about multiple streams of income through passive investing in real estate.

Highlights from the conversation:

Dr. Peter Kim

● Founder of Passive Income MD

● Board-certified anesthesiologist

● Host of Leverage and Growth (Virtual Summit for Physicians)

● Thinks it’s important that parents encourage an entrepreneurial mindset to children. It will serve them later on in life! when they have to provide for themselves.

● After spending years in a company and waiting for a certain number of shifts and a higher status, he got the opposite. He felt it as they were taking advantage of him and felt powerless. He decided he was going to take control of his time. After all, time is money!

Multiple Streams of Income

● Previous physician mindset: Make it through med school practice for 30 years, and then retire.

● Current mindset: What’s the next thing I should accomplish? ALways seeking for a higher calling.

● It’s very important to have multiple sources of income because - as these times have proved - nothing is guaranteed and we never know when things will shut down.

● What stops most physicians is the “lack of training”. They feel like they need to get an MBA in order to be prepared. Truth is that what determines success is being able to focus and channel energy into getting things done. That’s what business is about.

● The first step to start another source of income isn’t to start reading books. The first step is to imagine the kind of life you want to have once you obtain your goals. Then, the beginning and middle part of the journey will become more clear. You don’t start walking towards a destination without knowing exactly where to go!

● Physicians have been told that asking for help is a sign of weakness. In order to progress in the entrepreneurial world, it is important to understand this is not true at all. Stop limiting beliefs. Reaching out to others, modeling successful people, and finding a community of like minded individuals are ways to accelerate the journey.

● Real estate is a good source of income. It can be active (full search of properties, management, and sales) or passive (investing in real estate and syndication funds).

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur Dr. Leah Houston and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about taking our power and autonomy back through Blockchain, and how she is leading this movement.

Highlights from the conversation:

Dr. Leah Houston

- Emergency medicine doctor / founder & CEO of HPEC (Humanitarian Physicians Empowerment Community)

Decentralization of physician’s credentials / blockchain

- Over the past 20 or 30 years, physician-patient interaction has been completely altered. We were instructed on how to document and share the digital information about our patients. All of that information is now analyzed in order to find ways to deny payment to doctors, and at the same time deny services to patients.

- As physicians, it's our duty to protect that information and to have control of that information, for the sake of the relationship with our patients.

Blockchain

- When we talk about any digital communication, whether it be through a cell phone, on a Facebook group, via email, etc… they are centralized (all of the data is in, controlled by, and belongs to a specific platform). Blockchain is a way to record information and provide secure direct communications without going through a centralized identity.

- Blockchain is great for physicians, as it creates an opportunity to document what happens with patients and transfer that information directly into a patient’s digital record, keep a copy to ourselves, and not share it with anyone else. It can also help us keep a secure communication between colleagues. (HPEC covers this)

Decentralization of physician’s credentials

- It’s important to start by obtaining our digital identities and asserting that we are who we say we are in the digital space. We have a license, DEA numbers, Medicaid, Medicare.... all of them are part of our digital credentials. They can be verified by any institution, and blockchain allows us to keep them in one place, available. (HPEC covers this)

- There are movements, such as campaigns in GoFundMe, to make certifications a lifetime. Institutions shouldn’t be able to profit from physician’s knowledge and time. (HPEC supports this)

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur Dr. Brent Lacey and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about how we learn by teaching, and how ongoing personal development helps us to be examples for modeling excellence to others.

Highlights from the conversation:

Dr.Brent Lacey

● Owner of The Scope of Practice, Gastroenterologist. Does one-on-one coaching in business and personal finance

● After working on one-on-one coaching several years and getting the same questions asked over and over, he decided to provide resources for people in the shape of a blog. He made sure that the topics he included were needed by his audience, as well as being viable.

We deepen our learning when we teach others

● Latin phrase: “Docendo discimus” that means by teaching, we learn.

● Teaching people is the best way to learn. There’s something in being able to transmit certain knowledge to others, that reaffirms the fact that you deeply understand it too.

● Teaching lets people discover the way they process information, their way of thinking about certain topics, as well as their own philosophies.

Becoming successful is just a matter of making the right decision

● You don’t have to have 300 diplomas in different specialities to become a millionaire. Extremely intelligent people became millionaires, as well as common people that worked as a teacher, plumber, landscaper, etc. The only thing needed is the will to learn about what your next step will be.

● Becoming a millionaire is a matter of making the right decisions, and keep making them for a period of time. It’s all about making smart choices.

● Money mindset: Some people were taught since an early age, some people weren’t. Those who weren’t should be focused on implementing that mindset in their minds. Being able to be responsible and mindful of their finances.

● It’s important to adjust gratification. This doesn’t mean that not spending on things beyond what’s necessary shouldn’t be done, but the contrary. It should be done considering the lifestyle you can afford. This is important because some people hold their breaths during university years, residence, and so on…. and once they get their first paycheck, BOOM! Lots of expenses and luxury. Those things are ok, but should be incorporated gradually and while making sure they are in the budget.

● Social media and the exposition of everyone else’s dream life can provoke negative thoughts such as “When is it going to be my turn?” First, think: Is it something you genuinely want, or you just say you want it because it looks good? Are there other things that you find more valuable and would rather spend money in? Find those priorities and focus on them.

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur David Simmons and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about the dirty work of entrepreneurship.

Highlights from the conversation:

David Simmons

● Business consulting with entrepreneurs.

● Started in advertising as a research analyst, then switched to sales analyst, to manufacturing, to business analyst. After moving with a competitor as a global brand manager, accumulating 15 years of experience.

The dirty work of entrepreneurship: The things that entrepreneurs want to avoid in the process of starting a business.

● Costs to sell: Entrepreneurs and , surprisingly even companies, avoid spending before being able to sell.

● Research: Sometimes because of fear or the product not being good enough or because of lack of time. It could also be because of receiving too much feedback, provoking analysis paralysis. Analysis paralysis can stop entrepreneurs from launching a great product because they are questioning every decision and element from the product.

● Behavior flexibility: It’s easier to follow your own ways and strategies, but they probably won’t work in every venture you take in life. It’s necessary to be able to adapt to the results of a market research, a new brand, or a product flop.

● Testing: Tweaking products is an extra step that few people actually enjoy, but it’s the final wall before a successful product release.

The importance of research

● It has always been important, but COVID-19 made it even more essential. It’s necessary to figure out the state of the industry and the product. Is it viable nowadays, or not anymore? Are people buying?

● Checking out what competitors and doing and how they are doing it. Price point analysis, marketing strategies, checking if they are leaving space for other competitors to enter the market, etc. After completing research, there will be a clear picture of how competitors overlap between each other, and what blank spaces they are leaving for someone else to fill. “The point of differentiation”.

● Research helps find what your own product is missing. A lot of entrepreneurs are scared of this because they don’t want to be wrong, but it’s necessary to present the best version of the product and correctly satisfy the needs of your clients.

● Understanding clients, their pain points, and needs. You will never succeed unless you can 100% get what your clients value and what they don’t. Without research is like being blindfolded.

● Doing research BEFORE crafting the product will save you a lot of time. No need to re-do, only to apply the knowledge.

See you on the next one!

This episode is a musing of the lessons I learned this year connecting with the amazing people I did.

While, I wasn’t able to re-feature everyone (and not everyone was mentioned), my love and appreciation goes out to ALL of my guests for Season 1.  We had some amazing conversations, I learned quite a bit (about myself) as well as about other industries, specialties, and my colleagues (Some of which have now become friends).

In this episode I not only talk about the lessons I learned, but the changes coming in season 2.

We are expanding consciousness this season!
